The Efficacy of Virtual Reality Therapy in Pain Management Compared to Traditional Pain Management Techniques

Virtual Reality (VR) technology is a computer-generated simulation of an immersive three-dimensional environment that can be experienced through a headset or display screen. VR has emerged as a novel tool for pain management, providing a non-pharmacological alternative to traditional pain management techniques. Traditional pain management techniques such as medication and physical therapy have been effective in treating pain, but they also come with several side effects such as addiction, dependency, and risks of overdose.
